Creative Play Quick Tip: Water Balloon Group Fun

Need a simple group play idea that won’t cost a fortune but will bring a million laughs? Keep a bag of balloons on hand. The key to long toss-and-catch games is underfilling the water balloons! Keep them small, only filling them until they begin to expand, and you’ll have a group of happy kids playing for hours! Some games to play? There’s the classic water balloon toss, of course, but why not try playing one-handed catch? Water balloons also make for exciting target games—draw a target on a tree with chalk and let ’er rip!
